Successful Internal Evaluation

This in depth online course is designed to support effective internal evaluation of practice using Te Ara Poutama as a key frame of reference. Following an introduction and overview of internal evaluation in module one, the remainder of the course steps participants through each phase of an internal evaluation cycle in turn.

You will gain understanding of and confidence in implementing effective evaluation of practice that meets the expectations of external evaluators (ERO). A template for documenting your evaluation is also provided.

You will gain the best value from this course if you undertake an internal evaluation in your ECE service in conjunction with progressing through the modules. This approach would result in a completed internal evaluation by the end of the programme.

This course is for you if;

• You want a clear framework for internal evaluation (including a template for documenting the process).
• You want to know how to use Te Ara Poutama within internal evaluation.
• You want to learn how to structure data informed, evidence based decision-making.
• You want to build your confidence that you are meeting ERO’s expectations for effective evaluation.
